And So is Planet Wisp for the First Time
Though Sega does not have a formal presence at this year’s Gamescom, plenty of the company’s top titles do, piggybacking off of other big names like Microsoft, Nintendo, and the like.
Sonic Colors did indeed make the trip Germany for the big show, and courtesy of this video from Nexplay.de (and sent in via News Tips), it’s there with a new playthrough of what’s being called Planet Wisp. The video is off-screen, and cuts away at various points, but it is the first good look at Planet Wisp and the Rocket Wisp in action.
TSSZ News has learned via SegaStuff.de that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and Sonic Free Riders are also on the show floor via the Microsoft booth. We’re trying to learn if anything new, particularly from Sonic 4′s Lost Labyrinth, is being shown on the show floor, and we’ll report back once we get new information. In the meantime, we have the lengthy 3 minute peek at Planet Wisp for your review below. Thanks to SoNiC FReaK for sending this in.

DEM SECRET PASSAGEWAYS
More and more it seems like this is one of those games that look better in motion.
Wish the music was audible though. I’m itching to hear as much of the OST as soon as possible.
Also, inb4 “lol @ 1:00″
Z!
Press it!
Urgh! I’m trying not to let my expectations rise too much but the video of the gameplay looks so good.
Okay… So that bit at the end.
Does the game momentarily become on-rails? If I’m not mistaken, the boss battles in Sonic Unleashed did that. Either that, or it’s like the beginning of Adabat in the 360/PS3. You were running on a very narrow bridge thing. The control automatically became very stiff, so you wouldn’t fall off. At that part, all you did was hold forward, and hit the shoulder buttons to quick-step.
But in this… The quick-step is activated with the analog stick. If it’s not on-rails, then controlling this could feel a bit awkward. Also, the rocket-power up looks cool, but if you can’t control it, then that’s a tad bit disappointing. Not a big deal, though.
in the 360/PS3 version*
This game is becoming so awesome. The rocket wisp is now my new favorite wisp at the moment. Despite the poor quality of the video, this level is so beautiful to look at. I still can’t believe that this is a Wii game. I wish that we could have heard the music for this level, I wonder what it will sound like.
@ Cloverdox
It’s clearly on-rails at that point. You simply run forward and when you need to switch over you just move the analog left or right.
It’s about as simple as you can get without actually being on a grinding rail.
I’m anticipating Colors more than Sonic 4 right now.
The phase is beautiful, but I prefer Sonic 4 (obviously).
Nice.
Sonic Colors has been getting more hype lately than Sonic 4 because their is not much updates/news.
Also because it’s something new and fresh and not a rehash that plays nothing like what it’s trying to look like.
Cool, but this game is “kid aimed”, so im go to sonic 4.
People shouldnt take that PR quote so seriously, its no big deal
I dunno why we’re comparing sonic 4 to colors now but I think they’ll both be good games in their respective genres, however colors isn’t really anything like the old games. It’s great, but for a completely different reason than the old games were.
Casuals. Casuals FUCKING everywhere.
@SonicLegends: or maybe because it has a much bigger budget? Herp.
HELLYEAh that means that i can play it tommorow
:D:D .. i’l be there!
@Cloverdox: Switching from on-rails to free motion was a pretty cool point of SU – here’s hoping such a dynamic comes back here.
I wanna see the green one, that one becomes sonic into a tranformer.
@ RogerMyers JR
LOLWUT?
Can’t wait for Colors to get here I’m so going to burn up each stage way I did the stages in SA1, SA2 , Heroes & Unleashed
>Budget
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
wow, looks horrible
Here you have the green one! ^^
